Nikon 300mm f4
Hi,
Im now looking for a new lens, much as i love my Tamron 28-300 i whant some better glass. I cant afforf the 300mm f2.8 but i could manage the 300f4. I would like to here some peoples opinions on this lens. I will be using it for airshow photography. The other option i looked at is the Sigma 300mm f2.8. What do people think of that lens?

If you are shooting air shows, the light should be bright enough for the Nikon f/4. If the cost of the Nikon 300 f/4 is about the same as the Sigma 300 f/2.8 then in my opinion you have a difficult choice to make. I would be tempted to look at the Sigma.

Right now the Sigma F2.8 is more apealing, has anyone here used it? How would Nikons F4 cope with a 1.4x tc as sometimes i would need more than 300mm.

If Nikon Performs like Canon, the 300 f/4 will work well with a 1.4x TC.

Hi Olliholms,
Remember that the Sigma f/2.8 should work with the 2X TC and maintain AF but the Nikon f/4 will not. Personly I would be tempted to go for the Sigma; I am a glutten for speed. Try to get some other feed back on the Sigma, if it is a prime lens and not a Zoom, I think it will be your best bet. Best regards Jonathan
